A Moment Of Clarity

In a moment of clarity tonight, I have arrived at an incredible epiphany. The meaning of life, the purpose, the goal, the thing I am going to live every moment striving for, is to be able to laugh when the moment of death is upon me. That is the sign of the ultimate state of conscious enlightenment, to be able to lie down, smile, laugh, and then leave this life forever. If I can live my life in that way so that I may die in that way, I will regret nothing. I will regret nothing.

Amen. Really amen.

But when you wake up from your dream you will cry.

No, it is YOU that will be the one weeping because WE will be the ones on the river that have abandoned the desires that you still clutch. We'll sneer at the Siamese cat on your shoulder and Dylan will go back to playing harmonica.
